- Cleanup of homes where meth was heavily smoked indoors, not just made
- Cleaning and decontamination of hard surfaces, cabinets, fixtures and furniture that can be saved

- Sealed handling of contaminated materials as hazardous waste where required
- Cleanup of garages, sheds, outbuildings and vehicles used for drug production

2. Remove what cannot be cleaned
Porous materials such as carpet, padding and drywall that hold residue are cut out, bagged and hauled away.

Contaminated items are packed as waste. Surfaces and air systems are cleaned in a set order, top to bottom.
4. Clearance check
A last round of testing checks the result against the standard that applies, and the owner gets a report.

Meth Lab Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Presquille, LA
Is it safe to buy a house that was a meth lab?
That depends on testing and cleanup. A buyer or lender can ask for test reports and cleanup records. A cleanup team can explain what the reports show. A real estate attorney can advise on disclosure and sale terms.
Can furniture and belongings be saved?
Some hard items can be cleaned. Porous items such as upholstery, mattresses, curtains and carpets often cannot, because residue soaks into them. The team can advise on what is likely to be removed and what can be tested.
What is meth lab cleanup?
It is the testing, removal and cleaning of a property where methamphetamine was made or heavily used. A professional team samples surfaces, removes materials that cannot be cleaned, cleans the rest and tests again. The goal is to show that the property is fit for use. It is not a job for household cleaners.
Do I have to be at the property?
Often not. In many cases the person who calls does not need to be on site. The team may need access, keys and a point of contact. Ask how that can be arranged, especially if you are out of town or the property is vacant.
Why does testing matter?
Because residue is usually invisible. Testing shows which rooms and materials are affected, guides the cleanup plan and later shows whether the work succeeded. Reports from before and after the job are what buyers, lenders, insurers and local officials often ask to see.
Can a meth house be cleaned up?
In many cases, yes. The usual path is testing, removal of contaminated porous materials, thorough cleaning of surfaces and air systems, and retesting. How much work is needed depends on the extent of the contamination, and testing is what shows that.
